قٓ ۟ۚ وَالۡقُرۡاٰنِ الۡمَجِیۡدِ ۚ﴿۲﴾
[✲]Qaf.[✛] By the Glorious Qur’an, thou art a Messenger of God.بَلۡ عَجِبُوۡۤا اَنۡ جَآءَہُمۡ مُّنۡذِرٌ مِّنۡہُمۡ فَقَالَ الۡکٰفِرُوۡنَ ہٰذَا شَیۡءٌ عَجِیۡبٌ ۚ﴿۳﴾
But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, ‘This is a strange thing!ءَاِذَا مِتۡنَا وَکُنَّا تُرَابًا ۚ ذٰلِکَ رَجۡعٌۢ بَعِیۡدٌ ﴿۴﴾
‘What! when we are dead and have become dust, shall we be raised to life again? That is a return far from possible.’قَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا مَا تَنۡقُصُ الۡاَرۡضُ مِنۡہُمۡ ۚ وَعِنۡدَنَا کِتٰبٌ حَفِیۡظٌ ﴿۵﴾
We know how much the earth diminishes of them and with Us is a Book that preserves everything.بَلۡ کَذَّبُوۡا بِالۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَہُمۡ فَہُمۡ فِیۡۤ اَمۡرٍ مَّرِیۡجٍ ﴿۶﴾
Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, and so they are in a state of confusion.اَفَلَمۡ یَنۡظُرُوۡۤا اِلَی السَّمَآءِ فَوۡقَہُمۡ کَیۡفَ بَنَیۡنٰہَا وَزَیَّنّٰہَا وَمَا لَہَا مِنۡ فُرُوۡجٍ ﴿۷﴾
Have they not looked at the sky above them, how We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?وَالۡاَرۡضَ مَدَدۡنٰہَا وَاَلۡقَیۡنَا فِیۡہَا رَوَاسِیَ وَاَنۡۢبَتۡنَا فِیۡہَا مِنۡ کُلِّ زَوۡجٍۭ بَہِیۡجٍ ۙ﴿۸﴾
And the earth — We have spread it out, and placed therein firm mountains; and We have made to grow therein every kind of beautiful species,تَبۡصِرَۃً وَّذِکۡرٰی لِکُلِّ عَبۡدٍ مُّنِیۡبٍ ﴿۹﴾
As a means of enlightenment and as a reminder to every servant that turns to God.وَنَزَّلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً مُّبٰرَکًا فَاَنۡۢبَتۡنَا بِہٖ جَنّٰتٍ وَّحَبَّ الۡحَصِیۡدِ ۙ﴿۱۰﴾
And We send down from the sky water which is full of blessings, and We produce therewith gardens and grain harvests,وَالنَّخۡلَ بٰسِقٰتٍ لَّہَا طَلۡعٌ نَّضِیۡدٌ ﴿ۙ۱۱﴾
And tall palm-trees, with spathes piled one above the other,رِّزۡقًا لِّلۡعِبَادِ ۙ وَاَحۡیَیۡنَا بِہٖ بَلۡدَۃً مَّیۡتًا ؕ کَذٰلِکَ الۡخُرُوۡجُ ﴿۱۲﴾
As a provision for Our servants; and We quicken thereby a dead land. Even so shall be the Resurrection.50:13

کَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَہُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوۡحٍ وَّاَصۡحٰبُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُوۡدُ ﴿ۙ۱۳﴾
The people of Noah rejected the truth before them and so did the People of the Well,[✛] and Thamud,وَعَادٌ وَّفِرۡعَوۡنُ وَاِخۡوَانُ لُوۡطٍ ﴿ۙ۱۴﴾
And ‘Ad, and Pharaoh and the brethren of Lot,وَّاَصۡحٰبُ الۡاَیۡکَۃِ وَقَوۡمُ تُبَّعٍ ؕ کُلٌّ کَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِیۡدِ ﴿۱۵﴾
And the Dwellers of the Wood, and the people of Tubba‘. All of them rejected the Messengers with the result that My threatened punishment befell them.اَفَعَیِیۡنَا بِالۡخَلۡقِ الۡاَوَّلِ ؕ بَلۡ ہُمۡ فِیۡ لَبۡسٍ مِّنۡ خَلۡقٍ جَدِیۡدٍ ﴿٪۱۶﴾
Have We then become weary with the first creation? Nay, but they are in confusion about the new creation.50:17

وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ وَنَعۡلَمُ مَا تُوَسۡوِسُ بِہٖ نَفۡسُہٗ ۚۖ وَنَحۡنُ اَقۡرَبُ اِلَیۡہِ مِنۡ حَبۡلِ الۡوَرِیۡدِ ﴿۱۷﴾
[✲]And assuredly, We have created man and We know what his physical self whispers to him, and We are nearer to him than even his jugular vein.اِذۡ یَتَلَقَّی الۡمُتَلَقِّیٰنِ عَنِ الۡیَمِیۡنِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِیۡدٌ ﴿۱۸﴾
When the two Recording angels record the deeds of men, one sitting on the right and the other on the left,مَا یَلۡفِظُ مِنۡ قَوۡلٍ اِلَّا لَدَیۡہِ رَقِیۡبٌ عَتِیۡدٌ ﴿۱۹﴾
He utters not a word but there is by him a guardian angel ready to record it.وَجَآءَتۡ سَکۡرَۃُ الۡمَوۡتِ بِالۡحَقِّ ؕ ذٰلِکَ مَا کُنۡتَ مِنۡہُ تَحِیۡدُ ﴿۲۰﴾
And the stupor of death certainly comes. ‘This is what thou wast trying to run from.’وَنُفِخَ فِی الصُّوۡرِ ؕ ذٰلِکَ یَوۡمُ الۡوَعِیۡدِ ﴿۲۱﴾
And the trumpet shall be blown: ‘This is the Day of Promise.’وَجَآءَتۡ کُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّعَہَا سَآئِقٌ وَّشَہِیۡدٌ ﴿۲۲﴾
And every soul shall come forth and along with it there will be an angel to drive and an angel to bear witness.لَقَدۡ کُنۡتَ فِیۡ غَفۡلَۃٍ مِّنۡ ہٰذَا فَکَشَفۡنَا عَنۡکَ غِطَآءَکَ فَبَصَرُکَ الۡیَوۡمَ حَدِیۡدٌ ﴿۲۳﴾
‘Thou wast heedless of this; now We have removed from thee thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this day.’وَقَالَ قَرِیۡنُہٗ ہٰذَا مَا لَدَیَّ عَتِیۡدٌ ﴿ؕ۲۴﴾
And his companion will say, ‘This is what I have of the record ready.اَلۡقِیَا فِیۡ جَہَنَّمَ کُلَّ کَفَّارٍ عَنِیۡدٍ ﴿ۙ۲۵﴾
‘Cast ye twain into Hell every ungrateful enemy of truth,مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلۡخَیۡرِ مُعۡتَدٍ مُّرِیۡبِ ﴿ۙ۲۶﴾
‘Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter,ۣالَّذِیۡ جَعَلَ مَعَ اللّٰہِ اِلٰـہًا اٰخَرَ فَاَلۡقِیٰہُ فِی الۡعَذَابِ الشَّدِیۡدِ ﴿۲۷﴾
‘Who sets up another God beside Allah. So do ye twain cast him into the dreadful torment.’قَالَ قَرِیۡنُہٗ رَبَّنَا مَاۤ اَطۡغَیۡتُہٗ وَلٰکِنۡ کَانَ فِیۡ ضَلٰلٍۭ بَعِیۡدٍ ﴿۲۸﴾
His associate will say, ‘O our Lord, I did not cause him to rebel; but he himself was too far gone in error.’قَالَ لَا تَخۡتَصِمُوۡا لَدَیَّ وَقَدۡ قَدَّمۡتُ اِلَیۡکُمۡ بِالۡوَعِیۡدِ ﴿۲۹﴾
God will say, ‘Quarrel not in My presence, I gave you the warning beforehand.مَا یُبَدَّلُ الۡقَوۡلُ لَدَیَّ وَمَاۤ اَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلۡعَبِیۡدِ ﴿٪۳۰﴾
‘The sentence passed by Me cannot be changed, and I am not at all unjust to My servants.’یَوۡمَ نَقُوۡلُ لِجَہَنَّمَ ہَلِ امۡتَلَاۡتِ وَتَقُوۡلُ ہَلۡ مِنۡ مَّزِیۡدٍ ﴿۳۱﴾
On that day We will say to Hell, ‘Art thou filled up?’, and it will answer, ‘Is there more?’وَاُزۡلِفَتِ الۡجَنَّۃُ لِلۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ غَیۡرَ بَعِیۡدٍ ﴿۳۲﴾
And Heaven will be brought near to the righteous, no longer remote.ہٰذَا مَا تُوۡعَدُوۡنَ لِکُلِّ اَوَّابٍ حَفِیۡظٍ ﴿ۚ۳۳﴾
‘This is what was promised to you — to everyone who always turned to God and was watchful of his actions,مَنۡ خَشِیَ الرَّحۡمٰنَ بِالۡغَیۡبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلۡبٍ مُّنِیۡبِ ﴿ۙ۳۴﴾
‘Who feared the Gracious God in private and came to Him with a penitent heart.ۣادۡخُلُوۡہَا بِسَلٰمٍ ؕ ذٰلِکَ یَوۡمُ الۡخُلُوۡدِ ﴿۳۵﴾
‘Enter ye therein in peace. This is the Day of Eternity.’لَہُمۡ مَّا یَشَآءُوۡنَ فِیۡہَا وَلَدَیۡنَا مَزِیۡدٌ ﴿۳۶﴾
They will have therein whatever they desire, and with Us is a good deal more.وَکَمۡ اَہۡلَکۡنَا قَبۡلَہُمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡنٍ ہُمۡ اَشَدُّ مِنۡہُمۡ بَطۡشًا فَنَقَّبُوۡا فِی الۡبِلَادِ ؕ ہَلۡ مِنۡ مَّحِیۡصٍ ﴿۳۷﴾
And how many a generation who were greater than they in power have We destroyed before them! But when the punishment came, they went about the lands. Was there any place of refuge for them?اِنَّ فِیۡ ذٰلِکَ لَذِکۡرٰی لِمَنۡ کَانَ لَہٗ قَلۡبٌ اَوۡ اَلۡقَی السَّمۡعَ وَہُوَ شَہِیۡدٌ ﴿۳۸﴾
Therein, verily, is a reminder for him who has a heart, or who gives ear, and is attentive.وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَہُمَا فِیۡ سِتَّۃِ اَیَّامٍ ٭ۖ وَّمَا مَسَّنَا مِنۡ لُّغُوۡبٍ ﴿۳۹﴾
And verily, We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six periods, and no weariness touched Us.فَاصۡبِرۡ عَلٰی مَا یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّکَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوۡعِ الشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ الۡغُرُوۡبِ ﴿ۚ۴۰﴾
So bear with patience what they say, and glorify thy Lord with His praise, before the rising of the sun and before its setting;وَمِنَ الَّیۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡہُ وَاَدۡبَارَ السُّجُوۡدِ ﴿۴۱﴾
And in a part of the night also do thou glorify Him, and after prescribed prostrations.وَاسۡتَمِعۡ یَوۡمَ یُنَادِ الۡمُنَادِ مِنۡ مَّکَانٍ قَرِیۡبٍ ﴿ۙ۴۲﴾
And listen! The day when the crier will cry from a place nearby,50:43

یَّوۡمَ یَسۡمَعُوۡنَ الصَّیۡحَۃَ بِالۡحَقِّ ؕ ذٰلِکَ یَوۡمُ الۡخُرُوۡجِ ﴿۴۳﴾
[✲]The day when they will hear the blast in truth; that will be the day of coming forth from the graves.اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡیٖ وَنُمِیۡتُ وَاِلَیۡنَا الۡمَصِیۡرُ ﴿ۙ۴۴﴾
Verily, it is We Who give life and cause death, and to Us is the final return.یَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ الۡاَرۡضُ عَنۡہُمۡ سِرَاعًا ؕ ذٰلِکَ حَشۡرٌ عَلَیۡنَا یَسِیۡرٌ ﴿۴۵﴾
On the day when the earth will cleave asunder from over them and they will come forth hastening — that will be a gathering together, quite easy for Us.نَحۡنُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ عَلَیۡہِمۡ بِجَبَّارٍ ۟ فَذَکِّرۡ بِالۡقُرۡاٰنِ مَنۡ یَّخَافُ وَعِیۡدِ ﴿٪۴۶﴾
We know best what they say; and thou hast not been appointed to compel them in any way. So admonish, by means of the Qur’an, him who fears My warning.Qaf — Qaf
